Middle School Lockers!!

This is just a quick post of the lockers we decorated for my 12 year daughter and her BFF. My daughter LOVES to bake cupcakes so the top 3 pics are of her locker. We were doing this for about 2 hours!!!

Congrats girls on having lovely lockers, my daughter is starting her first year in "grammar" school ( this will be year 8, shes 12 next month)in northern Ireland but they can't decorate the lockers:(Hope you have a great time at your new school girls!!Tfs jeanette

WOW...if you don't get the award for the greatest mom ever, there is something wrong! These are the best lockers I have ever seen! All the girls in the school are going to be begging for their own!! FANTASTIC JOB MOM!!!

Traditions bring back so many memories. Not only of my school days but, my kids. Before I know it my grandkids will be going through the traditions( If they have lockers left when they get to middle school so many of our schools have gone away from the locker) Best wishes on a terrific first day to your daughter Smiles Mindy

OMG, these are so cute. I had to smile when I saw them b/c yesterday I went shopping with one of my boys--12 years old. I pointed out the locker items at The Container Store and he rolled his eyeballs at me. The letter from the school said that two kids would be sharing one locker with no divider or shelves so I suggested he pick out some organizing things. He said, "Mom, noone uses those things. It's just a locker." Good thing I have a younger daughter who at the age of 7 said, "I can't wait to have a locker to decorate!" There's hope yet.

Cute!..I remember my locker back in high school..it was covered in leopard print paper. Some people would even come up to it and feel it cause they thought I put fur on my locker. It was just paper..I loved that locker :)

How awesome! If I'd had a locker like that I would have spent more time actually putting the books in it! Now every time your daughter goes to her locker, she'll be reminded of what an awesome mom she has!

OMGGG! :D I love the lockers, I totally would love to do this but the fact that its soo time consuming worries me, and the fact that we have floor to ceiling lockers makes me dred the idea of trying to fill it with paper, anyways gorgeous work as always! :D

It's great to have a little piece of your own in the hustle and bustle of middle school! I can't wait to share this with my students who I know have parents with cricuts! I just may work up the nerve to take mine to school for that purpose! What a fun way to get the kids ready to go back for the fall!Beth B.bethhausen@hotmail.com

Your daughter is taking after you. And her friend, too! Loved the photos. My locker, when I was a kid, never, ever looked any where near that good. Tell the girls to have a wonderful school year. Thanks for the post.

Oh boy! I love it, but as a middle school teacher, I am glad you took pictures...that will be the last time it looks that nice! For kids in the school where I teach, that is a rite of passage when you get to be 6th graders is decorating that locker...they don't go as crazy in 7th and 8th grade. Many of them wallpaper it, and it falls apart within weeks. (The wall paper is glorified wrapping paper!)

Wow!! Great lockers!!! I feel so badly for my grandkids! Here in California, they don't let the kids use the lockers anymore and they have to carry EVERYTHING in their backpacks!!! These lockers look so awesome!!! Lucky girls to have such a creative genius in their corner!!!Hugs!Linda

What a great locker! So THAT is why she was cutting all the cupcakes when you showed us the photo of your scraproom! It looks great . . . she should be proud! How exciting to start the school year with a fun decorating project!

Super cute! And such a great idea. I will have to keep this idea in mind for my daughters lockers. They don't get theirs assigned until after school starts so we can't do a lot of decorating with them. But I'll bet they would love to cut some things out to make magnets and such for their lockers. Thanks Robyn!

Wow Robyn these are great, you certainly have passed your talent on!! I cannot believe the size of those books in there though they are huge and far too heavy for young kids to carry around, our books are no where near as big as that over here.Kim xXx

Way cute! Maybe you have already addressed this, but do you have to buy a locker for her school or is this for at home? I've never heard of having to buy your own locker, but hey I'm an eastcoaster & my boys are grown, so maybe things have changed.Either way, it's super cute & I bet you guys had a lot of fun!wendy.roos2boys@gmail.com
